A militarizált rendőrség problémái az Egyesült Államokban Mitől vált harci övezetté egy amerikai kisváros?

Abstract

In August 2009, in Ferguson (USA) a white police officer killed an unarmed Afro-American young man in a shooting. As a respond, the members of the black community went on the streets to protest against the police brutality and the general approach of the police dealing with the black population. The police called in impressive forces to handle the demonstrations. The police intervention provoked a stand-off between the police and protestors which caused riot and looting lasted several days. In my study, I write about the events led to the riot and the police respond who they tried to handle the difficult situation; analyzing the process of the militarization of the law enforcement agencies in the US.
